Thanks for the heads up. You can also catch the podcast at http://johnbatchelorshow.com/podcasts
Don’t have 40 min to listen. Anyone care to summarize?
So very glad to see a mention of Batchelor on FR! It has long perplexed me why every single Conservative - or for that matter concerned American - doesn’t turn off the tee-vee and instead listen to Batchelor.
Whenever I have the opportunity (just had one with a neighbor not too long ago) I challenge people to listen exclusively to Batchelor for news & current events for two weeks, then try to go back to anything on tee-vee including (or maybe especially) FoxNews. It can’t be done, if you were paying even half-close attention.
Since shortly before the Benghazi massacre, we have been doing exactly that. We dumped cable tee-vee earlier that summer of 2012 and have never looked back. At $110/month for the privilege of watching about 3 channels, we are approaching 4 Grand in money saved! And we are better informed, frequently days and weeks ahead of tee-vee talkers and viewers, plus we don’t have to contend with gallons of gasoline and toxic poison (ads and troll talk) poured into our heads.
Thanks for posting this.
John Batchelor is always on !!!
WOW !!!
Sorry.
But within the first three minutes this issue is defined, crystallized beyond anything our MSM could dream of.

I like Bachelor’s show a lot, and I’ll keep listening. But the frequent visits to the show by Prof. Stephen Cohen, who seems to be Putin’s number one booster in the USA, can be very irritating.
My main problem with those visits is this:
Even though I believe it’s OK to have Cohen as an occasional guest, Bachelor appears never to challenge the guy. In fact, John sometimes sounds even worshipful toward Steve. He just lets Steve pontificate uninterruptedly with an air of academic authority about how the West is needlessly provoking the pitiable, persecuted Russians.
Also:
Cohen is married to Katrina van den Hoevel, infamous editrix of the long-time pro-Stalinist “Nation” magazine. Sort of a red flag, doncha think?
